[freddylierman]

Lookin great m8 !!!!

lovin the muscles man !

one crit :
-I wanna see more arm muscles, I the way you do those.
:thumbsup: :) hehe

[dmonk]

I have to get my ass in gear apparently I wasn't as productivethis weekend as you were. Great updates keep them coming. Can you add a skeleton in Mirai? That's what you using right?

[truk77]

Good luck finding a copy of Mirai these days. :shrug:

Loganarts is using Wings3d, the next best thing! It was inspired by Nendo, which was, in turn, a simplified version of Mirai. Wings has grown up a lot since those days, but it doesn't have bones...yet... :D

[Wiz]

well its amazing loggie..nothing more to say

[dur23]

Wow. That is one sexy lookin mesh. Love the flow of it. Can't wait to see more.

[filipelopes]

Hey logan,

It is just amazing... Your work is fantastic and i'm trying to learn this "work flow"(bone loops, muscle loops etc.) on your posts on mono_poly....

And I'd like to see all your "artistic touch" on the final product of this wonderfull model..:thumbsup:

Keep updating man...



Thanx...

[Dark_Victor]

Very Goooooooooooooooooooooddddddddddd Logan!!!
Probably a Winner!

Boa Garoto!!!!
:bounce:

[Morte ao Piuí]

:surprised Hell_o all. :rolleyes:

Just one Word Logan: OLÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉ!!! :eek:

[Mentat7]

This is beyond cool! I'll have you know that all because of you I went and grabbed a copy of Wings 3D a couple of days ago! I know nothing about this type of modeling lol! But I am sure going to figure it out! :bounce: ;) Thank you for the inspiration.

[CIM]

Looking cool. :)

[visualboo]

Exponentially sweet Mario.

Hey gene my friend, no ex-friend since u never came on MSN anymore.....
Whaaa? I'm on all day man. visualboo@hotmail.com

[swag]

this is a master piece of modeling - wings rocks :buttrock:

[dakmoden]

WOW! sorry can't find anything else to say so I'll just say it again, WOW!

[Slot]

[marioucci]

cheers
loggie

[filipelopes]

Hey logan,

Man.. Each day it's more amazing.... The model is perfect, except the foot :rolleyes: .... But I know it's a WIP, and I know you'll finish it and win this challange :bounce:

Man... I think i've said it before, but I'd like to see your artistc touch on the final scene... Someting like that shoe scene you've made.... Something more like an oil paint....

But.. Keep updating, cause it's fantastic....:buttrock:



Thanx....


ps: sorry for my poor english....

[Silmarillion]

Hey hey , Looks awesome bro :bounce:

[stipen]

[thedaemon]

behold, the power of wings. Loggy, I think the chin needs some detail, it looks rather smooth related to the rest of him, looks sort of cartoony :surprised

[nick]

Looking very cool mate!!! The hair is looking like a dragon ball z characters hair doo :thumbsup: Maybe add some details in that chin looks very smooth, maybe make it more boney like a chin you wouldnt wanna punch :D

Cant wait for ya to rig this guy in softimage and make him dance and jump around the place to some cool jungle beats :airguitar

[funnydoodle]

awesome.... but lighting needs fixing..... XSI rules, as always...

[marioucci]

Hello mates,

Im gonna spend the night and tomorrowin the head (face&hair)

thats what i have so far...
cheers
loggie

[dmonk]

Can we get a bigger pic?
It looks great though!:thumbsup:

[marioucci]

lets just pray for this brazilian server to work......


http://www.loganarts.hpg.com.br/wip6.jpg

[nick]

Now that is awesome modelling my friend :) Great detailing, the face is turning out very well. glad to see the chin is more solid looking insitead of how rounded it was before. great stuff

[Mentat7]

All I can say is WOW :bounce: .........I watched your video tut on the making of an upper chest in Wings 3D..........that was really good! I just wish it didn't go by so fast.......hard to read the commands. May I siphon off a bit of your skills? It won't hurt I promise....(mumble mumble......ah there is that monster syringe........) Now just come a little closer..................... :D :D

[NelsonInomvan]

I'm an idiot, how could i miss this stuff :surprised

Great work great just great. Wooow your modeling skills are good man

[Fuzatron]

I dig all your work. And this is no exception.
Can't wait to see more of this guy!!
LoveItLoveItLoveIt :airguitar

I can't help but be curious about what you have going on in your Object and Outliner palettes(?) Any guides in there? Maybe a stupid question, but I am just really curious about your methods/workflow.

btw: I really appreciate the timelapse you posted in the Wings forum :thumbsup:

[John Lee]

Hey man very very very nice work! How long you got to go on the guy now? wings is class mate. Thanks buddy

[betooo]

wow logan you are the king...

[slom]

hi logan i loved you character i hope you finish it as i do not see a finished model in the comp i am very disappointed not seeing it finished. but good luck.
